In the not-so-distant past, the media and the DOJ were insistent that the biggest threat to America were MAGA extremists, parents at school board meetings, and basically anyone donning a red hat.
However, a survey from the Network of Contagion Research Institute in partnership with Rutgers University Social Perception Lab shows that actually, a majority of Democrats support the use of violence against their political rivals — specifically against President Donald Trump and his supporters.
The survey found that a “broader assassination culture” appears to be emerging within segments of the U.S. public on the far left and that 55% of self-identified leftists say it’s OK to assassinate President Trump.
Thirty-one percent and 38% of respondents stated it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk and President Trump.
As for property destruction, 39.8% of respondents stated that it is at least somewhat acceptable to destroy a Tesla dealership in protest.
“So property destruction, totally fine,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” comments. “I mean, it’s just a peaceful protest.”
The survey went on to report that “these beliefs are highly correlated with one another as well as with the justification of the murder of United Healthcare CEO and hyper-partisan left-wing ideology.”
“It’s a sickness,” BlazeTV contributor Jaco Booyens adds. “Bring back the insane asylums in this country.”
“Yes, it is a sickness,” Gonzales agrees. “Including Ryan Routh, who was, of course, President Trump’s second assassination attempt.”
Newly released court documents show that Routh had not only attempted to shoot the president but also attempted to buy a rocket launcher from Ukraine in the process.
“Some people are so crazy deranged, some people are just so incredibly crazy. And you just have to think about the fact that if this had been a Trump voter targeting Joe Biden, and they had gone to Russia and said, ‘Can you please give me an RPG?’” Gonzales says.
“It would be over,” Booyens chimes in.

Suspect Ryan Routh accused of nearly killing little girl after 2nd Trump assassination attempt
Florida officials continue to accuse federal agents of hampering the state-level investigation into the second assassination attempt on President-elect Donald Trump now that suspect Ryan Routh faces an attempted murder charge in connection with a 6-year-old girl who is still fighting for her life.
On Wednesday, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced that Routh had been charged with attempted felony murder after a 6-year-old girl was seriously injured in a car crash that occurred while Routh was being apprehended.
'When you couple those terrible injuries together with [Routh's] other criminal conduct, which we believe rises to the level of domestic terrorism, it turns his actions into an attempted felony murder case.'
After Routh allegedly escaped Trump International Golf Club on September 15, he reportedly hopped into a getaway car. An eyewitness almost immediately "locked eyes" with the suspect and was able to give police a general description of the vehicle and the license plate, the affidavit claimed.
That vehicle, a black Nissan Xterra, was soon afterward spotted heading northbound on Interstate 95 in Martin County at around mile marker 110, according to the affidavit. Though the vehicle safely came to a stop along the highway, officers were concerned that explosives may be hidden inside it, so they stopped traffic in both directions, causing a significant pile-up.
Around 3 p.m. that day, about 35 minutes after the suspect's vehicle was stopped, an accident involving five cars occurred "3 or 4 miles south of the felony stop."
In one of the cars was a family who had just been visiting the Bush Wildlife Sanctuary. During the crash, their vehicle had been rear-ended with such force that a 6-year-old girl sitting in the second row and wearing a seatbelt suffered "life-threatening" injuries and had to be airlifted to a hospital, where she still remains, the affidavit claimed.
"We felt compelled to seek justice on her behalf and her family that will never be the same as they cope with her injuries," Moody said at a press conference on Wednesday.
"When you couple those terrible injuries together with [Routh's] other criminal conduct, which we believe rises to the level of domestic terrorism, it turns his actions into an attempted felony murder case," she added.
During her remarks, Moody also called out federal agencies for allegedly thwarting state efforts to investigate the crash and the would-be attempt on Trump's life. "As a former federal prosecutor, I have never seen such unwillingness or lack of communication," Moody claimed.
"They responded that we should not bring charges," she continued. "The excuse and the reasoning kept coming back to the need to protect the case and national security."
She made a similar statement in a press release from her office. "Under the leadership of Governor DeSantis, we vowed to bring transparency and accountability to the investigation into the second assassination attempt of President Trump," she said. "Despite the federal government frustrating our efforts, which we continue to challenge in court, we found that Mr. Routh’s actions caused catastrophic injuries to a six-year-old girl."
DeSantis, who wanted to attend the press conference but was prevented by inclement weather, likewise claimed that federal agencies had "stonewalled Florida’s investigation of the Trump assassination attempt at every turn."
Both DeSantis and Moody also expressed optimism that such alleged federal interference and obstruction will end under the second Trump administration.
"The tide will turn on January 20, and we fully expect that the federal roadblocks will be removed," DeSantis said.
"A new day is coming," Moody said, adding that she expects "new leadership" — especially attorney general nominee Pam Bondi and FBI director nominee Kash Patel — to "reach out" and work with state officials "as intended."
"The people who have been nominated, Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, love this country and what it is meant to be," she continued.
"I personally have strongly supported these nominations, leading efforts and writing to the Senate to promptly and thoroughly consider these nominations and to those senators that would advise and provide consent on the nominations of President-elect Trump."

Corrupt Media Obsess Over Luigi Mangione After Memory Holing Trump’s Would-Be Assassins
The media builds a mystique around an alleged murderer while ignoring two gunmen who targeted a presidential candidate.Leftists 'attract a pretty nasty crowd’: Suspected would-be Trump shooter's son arrested for possession of the worst kind
When Kyle Rittenhouse shot three men — who were all strangers to each other — he was unaware that each man had a criminal history. Rittenhouse was simply defending himself and Kenosha from a left-wing mob.
“What are the odds of three strangers with crazy perverted independent criminal histories being together like that on the street?” Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” asks.
“It seems like that’s an insane amount of creeps and criminals to be gathered in a small area all at the same time,” she continues, noting that “most things involving leftists tend to attract a pretty nasty crowd.”
Now the suspected would-be Trump shooter's son, Oran Routh, was arrested on Tuesday after police searched his Greensboro, North Carolina, home “in connection with an investigation, unrelated to child exploitation.”
Allegedly, the police found “hundreds of files depicting child sexual abuse.”
“It’s really an odd twist in this saga that nobody saw coming,” Wheeler mocks, explaining that Routh claimed his father hated president Trump and was quoted saying that “every reasonable person does.”
“The son sounded just like his father, who sounded like an indoctrinated leftist activist, who sounded exactly like the talking heads in the mainstream media,” she adds.
However, as always, it’s innocent until proven guilty — as it should be.
“We shouldn’t just believe the authorities automatically,” Wheeler explains. “We know for a fact that the Department of Justice lies for political and self-protecting purposes all the time, but that doesn’t seem to pass the smell test here.”
“If you dabble in evil ideology, evil leftist ideology, it will invariably lead you to evil of the most twisted kind.”

INSANE! Trump 'hitman' offers $150,000 for former president’s life
Not only did Ryan Routh attempt to take Donald Trump’s life, but the would-be assassin placed a $150,000 bounty on Trump’s life.
Law enforcement has been contacted by a civilian witness who explained that Routh dropped off a box at his residence that contained ammunition, a metal pipe, miscellaneous building materials, tools, four phones, and various letters.
The civilian witness claims he didn’t open the box until he had learned of the assassination attempt.
“This was an assassination on Donald Trump, but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job, and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job,” Routh wrote in one of the letters.
Routh went on to complain that Trump does not “embody the moral fabric that is America" and called our current leaders "selfless."
“So he thinks that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, at bare minimum, embody the moral fabric that is America and that they are kind, caring, and selfless,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” comments.
“Joe’s real selfless, all right, to the tune of millions and millions of dollars that he raked in,” she continues. “But I just really want to know where did Ryan Routh get, or where would he have gotten, $150,000?”
“It’s a lot of money for someone who’s poor, who has no assets except like two pickup trucks to his name,” she says, noting that the rhetoric the left uses to talk about Trump likely is responsible.
“You see this rhetoric, you know that it’s amping people up,” Gonzales adds. “You see this guy releasing a freaking $150,000 bounty on Donald Trump’s head.”
